What is it you hope for,
Even though you are dying?
And even though life
Is closing your tiny eyes?
Why did I leave them all?
I should be with them
To die in the same place.
The pain I think should go on
Forever, for always.
But no, not mine, not now,
My life now begins.
Call me what you will,
But I'll die for no man, at all,
My limbs and the life
That spreads from them,
Cross my path and you'll suffer
Like no man before, at all.
What I hunger for
Is for the trial of God.
For just two winters
Only did we live for.
My God, what have you become?
Dear, dear lord.
We could have changed the world,
Had you been here with me
Right now, right now,
Held you in my arms,
In my arms, my love,
Jesus wept so man could live
Forever on earth in peace,
But my tears, they fall
For you, only you.
